The HEALING POWER OF LOVE & TOUCH 💗

A nurse placed the healthy baby next to her dying twin sister… and what happened next truly revolutionized medicine.

In 1995, at a Massachusetts hospital, two premature twins, Kyrie and Brielle, were fighting for their lives. Kyrie was gradually getting stronger… but her sister Brielle was growing weaker by the hour. The doctors had already prepared the family for the worst: her heart was beating erratically, her breathing was failing, and no one thought she would make it through the night.

Then a nurse, following her instinct rather than the protocol of the time, decided to try something no one else dared: she placed the two babies in the same incubator, skin to skin.

What happened next left the entire neonatal unit speechless.

The monitors began to change…
Brielle’s breathing stabilized… her oxygen saturation rose… and against all odds, her little body came back to life.
The nurses saw Kyrie slip his tiny arm around his sister, as if to hold her.

A small gesture.
A suspended moment.
A phenomenon that medical records couldn’t yet explain.

This simple contact between two lives linked even before birth not only saved a child… but also changed the way hospitals around the world now care for premature twins.

Sometimes, the miracle isn’t supernatural.
It lies in an embrace. In the warmth of a loved one.

Your 5 year old's brain is only 25% developed. Please be patient. 🙏🙏

Many parents feel frustrated when their young children do not follow instructions consistently. Neuroscience explains why this is normal. At age 5, a child’s brain is only about 25 percent developed. The areas responsible for self-control, planning, and impulse regulation are still maturing, which makes consistent listening extremely difficult.

When a child follows directions only one out of four times, it is not disobedience. It is their developing brain learning how to manage attention, emotions, and decision-making. Their nervous system is still learning to prioritize instructions while processing a world full of new experiences.

Instead of punishment, supportive strategies help. Break instructions into small steps, use calm repetition, and give opportunities for choice. Praise effort and cooperation rather than expecting perfection. Over time, repeated gentle guidance strengthens neural circuits for attention and compliance.

Parents who understand brain development can respond with patience rather than frustration. Each missed instruction is a natural part of learning, not misbehavior. Accepting this allows children to grow with confidence, curiosity, and emotional balance.

Listening gradually improves as the prefrontal cortex matures and their brain networks become more efficient.

CANCER CAN RETURN 😥

At fifteen, Ian’s world changed forever when doctors told him his cancer had returned — this time, unstoppable.

He didn’t cry for himself. He cried because he wanted to do one good thing before he left.

When he told his little brother, Peter, the truth, the room fell silent. In one photo, Ian holds Peter close — his forehead pressed against his brother’s, whispering apologies through tears neither of them could stop. His words weren’t for himself, but for the pain he knew his family would carry.

Even as his strength fades, Ian’s heart remains unshakably strong. He spends his days comforting others — making jokes for his friends, leaving notes of hope, and telling his brother that everything will be okay. He says he isn’t afraid to die; he’s afraid of not loving enough before he does.

Ian’s courage isn’t loud. It’s quiet — found in the way he chooses love over fear, purpose over despair.

He doesn’t measure life by how long it lasts, but by how deeply it touches others. And in doing so, he’s already done his one good thing — reminding us all what it means to live with grace, even in the face of goodbye.

MIRACLES IN MEDICINE 💗

On the morning of October 7, 2023, Dr. Ellay Hogeg-Golan was in her home on the Kfar Aza kibbutz near the Gaza border with her husband, Ariel, and their 18-month-old daughter Yael. She heard the missiles and then, suddenly, shots from machine guns.

Ariel grabbed two large kitchen knives, took water and fruit for Yael, and then went to the safe room in the back of the house. For hours, they stayed in the room, hearing screams and shots all around them. At the same time, they’re received terrifying messages on WhatsApp from their neighbors, who said things like, “They’re here. Someone please help me.”

Ellay and Ariel knew this could be the end.

After six hours, someone began to rattle the door of the safe room, which was guarded by a cabinet. “Come out,” they said. Ellay recognized that the men outside the door were speaking Arabic – and they were Hamas. “Take what you want,” she told them.

The Hamas militants then fired what seemed like hundreds of bullets at the door and lit their house on fire. Smoke started pouring in under the door. Ellay and Ariel, with Yael, ran through their home as Hamas threw objects at them. Ariel protected them with a mattress. Hamas terrorists then threw a gas tank into the fire and Ariel realized they were going to be burned alive. He and his wife started to suffocate.

They ran from their home and the assailants didn’t see them. Wounded with serious burns, and they hid in a nearby cabin for an hour and a half. Ellay breastfeed Yael, who was dehydrated, until she fell asleep.

Eventually, the IDF came to their rescue and rushed them to the hospital. Ellay and Ariel were put into medically induced comas. Sixty percent of Ellay’s body was covered with burns. Ariel was 42 percent covered and had a significant inhalation injury. Yael had burns over 30 percent of her body.

After going into the pediatric ICU and being put on a ventilator, Yael recovered well. Ariel ended up being in a coma for 10 days, while Ellay was in a coma for 53 days. Though she had a difficult recovery process, Ellay survived. Her survival was a miracle. She said, “God saves you. If you give to God, God saves you. God is here and He is helping me, helping us. He put us here and He gives us the strength to create and destroy life.”

The story of Ellay, Ariel, and Yael is a chapter from the new book, “The Miracles Among Us: How God's Grace Plays a Role in Healing” from Dr. Marc Siegel, FOX News senior medical analyst, Clinical Professor of Medicine and a practicing internist at NYU Langone Medical Center, and as medical director of Doctor Radio on SiriusXM. Along with the story of the Golan family – whom he met and interviewed – Dr. Siegel writes about other medical miracles he’s witnessed in his decades-long career.

HOPE: A DIALYSIS MACHINE THAT COSTS ONLY $500 🍀

This is the incredible story of Anya Pogharian, a Canadian teen inventor who set out to tackle a massive global health problem with a school science project!
After volunteering in a dialysis unit, Anya was shocked to learn that conventional dialysis machines cost around $30,000, making them completely inaccessible to patients in many developing countries. She made it her mission to create a solution.
By reading owner's manuals and using readily available parts, Anya successfully designed and built a functional dialysis machine prototype for a mere $500. Initial lab tests proved the low-cost machine was highly effective, successfully filtering blood of impurities. Her innovation has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by bringing life-saving dialysis treatment to millions globally.

PLS DO NOT PUT BIG PILLOWS & STUFFED TOYS WHILE YOUR BABY IS SLEEPING

“She was supposed to wake up for school that morning. Instead, I found her bed silent. Still.

I had tucked her in the night before, packing the side of her bed with teddy bears to keep her safe. One of them — a big, soft bear — slipped over her tiny face while she slept. And just like that, my baby was gone.

Now, every night feels heavier. Every parent’s instinct is to protect their child — but sometimes, even love can blind us to danger.

Please, let them fall. Don’t fill their beds with cushions or soft toys. Leave the sides empty.

If sharing my heartbreak saves even one child’s life, then my little girl’s story will live on.

Sleep tight, my sweet Connie. You will forever be my light.”

PLS SECURE ALL BATTERIES TO PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN

“I held her one last time. If I could’ve held her forever, I would have.

Seventeen months old. Spunky, bright, unstoppable. Gone because of a button battery.

I never knew something so small could destroy so much. Now, her name—Reese—has a purpose. We fight so no other family feels this pain. Check your homes. Secure every battery.
Tell everyone you know.

Because awareness can save a life.”

UNEXPLAINED WEIGHT LOSS is a SERIOUS SYMPTOM & MUST ALWAYS BE INVESTIGATED

A patient, Ms. AP, a 40-year-old financial analyst, came to my clinic for a second opinion. She had been managing what she called "IBS" (cramping and diarrhea) for months.

"The only good news," she said, "is that I've lost 8 kilos in the last three months. The stress must be burning it off."

This petite lady wasn't dieting. She wasn't exercising more. This was an immediate red flag. Her body was spending energy it didn't appear to have.

My investigation began with an extensive physical examination. She was mildly pale. Her fingernails looked chewed off, brittle and spoon-shaped. All other organ systems were normal.

We proceeded with bloodwork to rule out common systemic causes of weight loss. My first thought went to a metabolic issue, like hyperthyroidism. Her TSH was normal. We also looked for a fuel crisis, like uncontrolled diabetes. Her 75g 2-hour blood sugar was also normal.

Included in her routine labs was the blood count, which provided our next critical clue: Ms. AP had Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA). Her monthly periods weren't particularly problematic. So this abnormal result became a focusing point in this investigation.

The diagnosis of IBS was likely incorrect. To make this diagnosis, all tests should be normal. A few more tests unraveled the abnormalities. Her C-Reactive Protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation in the blood, came back high. We also checked f***l calprotectin, which measures inflammation inside the gut. It was also significantly elevated.

The picture was now clearer: Ms. AP had active, measurable inflammation in her GI tract, she was anemic, and she was losing weight.

I recommended an endoscopy. Our search started "top-down" with an upper GI endoscopy to check her esophagus, stomach, and the first part of her small intestine. That investigation came up empty; everything looked perfectly normal.

This meant the problem was "downstream." We then proceeded with a colonoscopy. As I advanced the scope, the colon itself was quiet. But the real goal in a case like this is to reach the end of the line—the terminal ileum, where the small intestine joins the large.

As soon as we entered that area, we found the scene of the crime. Her terminal ileum was not healthy; it was severely inflamed, with deep, linear ulcers.

This endoscopic picture, a severely inflamed terminal ileum, immediately brings three primary suspects to mind. The first, and most common in our population, is Gastrointestinal Tuberculosis (GI TB). Another is Crohn's Disease, an autoimmune condition. GI TB is a dangerous mimic, a "great pretender." It can look similar to Crohn's disease. It may sometimes be mistaken for a third and most important suspect, malignancy.

Making this distinction is one of the most critical jobs we have. To miss a malignancy is a crime. The treatment for Crohn's involves suppressing the immune system, which would be catastrophic if we gave it to a patient with an active TB infection.

To solve this, we took several biopsies from the ulcers. We sent them for two separate analyses. The first was to pathology, to look for the classic signs of either malignancy, GI TB, or Crohn's. The second was a TB-PCR test, a molecular test to hunt for the specific DNA of the tuberculosis bacteria.

The results came back after a few days. The TB-PCR test was negative. The pathology, meanwhile, showed all the hallmarks of Crohn's, with no malignant cells seen.

We had our culprit. I sat down with Ms. AP and explained that the "IBS," the anemia, and the weight loss were all part of this one diagnosis: Crohn's Disease. Her immune system was attacking her intestine, preventing her from absorbing food, iron, and calories. The 8 kilos she "lost" was a sign of her body starving.

With the correct diagnosis confirmed, we were able to start her on the proper medication to control the inflammation. Her case is a reminder that unexplained weight loss is not benign and must always be investigated.

MEDICAL NEWS ABOUT ADHD

For decades, skeptics questioned whether ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) was a real neurological condition or simply behavioral. But new MRI brain scan studies have finally provided conclusive proof: children with ADHD have structural and functional differences in their brains.
Researchers from Radboud University in the Netherlands analyzed over 3,000 brain scans and discovered that key regions — particularly the amygdala and prefrontal cortex — are smaller and less connected in children with ADHD. These areas are responsible for attention, impulse control, and emotional regulation.
The study marks a turning point in understanding ADHD as a neurodevelopmental disorder, not a character flaw. It emphasizes the need for empathy and early intervention, not judgment.
With this breakthrough, doctors hope to develop more precise treatments, including personalized neurofeedback and brain-training therapies that go beyond medication.
This research doesn’t just validate millions of families worldwide — it also opens doors to a more compassionate, science-driven approach to mental health.

MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGH! TILAPIA FISH SKIN FOR HEALING BURNS 💗

🔥🐟 Healed by Fish Skin — The Miracle from the Deep

In Brazil, doctors discovered a miracle — not in a lab, but in the scales of a fish.
The tilapia, once tossed aside as food waste, is now saving lives.

Its skin, rich in collagen and natural proteins, is being used to treat burn victims — and the results are jaw-dropping.

When doctors lay the tilapia skin over a patient’s burns, something incredible happens:
💧 The pain fades almost instantly.
🛡️ The wound is sealed, shielded from infection.
⏱️ And healing begins — faster than with any traditional bandage.

The tilapia’s natural collagen bonds with human skin, helping rebuild tissue while locking in moisture — no daily dressing changes, no harsh removal pain.
Over 50 patients have already healed this way, their scars lighter, their recoveries smoother.

From trash to treatment, the tilapia became a symbol of what science can achieve when compassion meets creativity.
Proof that sometimes, the quietest miracles swim just beneath the surface. 🌊❤️
